Remote Host Install

A “remote host” install method is meant for users that have familiarity with Ansible and have a system that already has Ansible installed that will control other hosts.

  • Ability to SSH into remote host
  • sudo privileges on remote host

If installing to a remote host (a different system than where Ansible is installed), you will need to modify your inventory/hosts.yml file to specify the remote host:

all:
hosts:
hmsdockerhost:
ansible_host: 192.168.1.2 # The IP address of the target host you want to install to
# Uncomment and modify the following if you have a specific user you use for Ansible:
#ansible_user: ansibleuser
#ansible_ssh_private_key_file: /path/to/key/file
#ansible_ssh_pass: foo #leave as-is if key does not have a password
# You can also specify host-specific variables here:
#hms_docker_domain: secondary.example.com
